I hope that you like!! :)

This is perfect!!!
I first thought it was 3D, and you posted it wrong, till I read your text.

Such an insane amount of detail!!! :buttrock:
You rock!

I'm ashamed to give critique on such a peace of art :banghead: , but here it goes: It wasn't completely clear to me that the bot was trashing the building, perhaps some flying fragments would do it justice.

i think your work is fantastic, you render so well.
Did you use a ref for this, how do you achieve such amazing gradiations, tell me!!!
please ;)

so out of curiousity how big is the original image and how long did it take you to go from sketch to that?

02-26-2004, 05:41 AM

Thank you very much for your commentaries :thumbsup:

Rasper : You are right,in the first sketches I painted pieces flying,but I decided to change it :shrug:

charlie brown and Kwe :I have used real reference of a girl like model.

Phantomstranger : the real sice: 2143+1000 px .how long from the first sketch? it is difficult to value...less of a month,in short whiles and complete days!!:eek:

In days I will put a work in progress and the first designs and concepts.
Thanks!!:wavey:

02-26-2004, 02:51 PM

Hy olijosman,

I realy love your work, and you're getting better and better. This one is astonishing.

Some critics, sorry for that:

The hair and piece of cloth around her neck is "flying" to the left.. I think because of the wind or such. But the smoke of the robot is not. It's "flying" to the right.

I think you made them separated, and then placed them togheter for this art, I really don't know, because she does not have the back light of the sky around her (a nice and smooth white line surrounding her would be fine).

Again, your art is beatiful. I realy don't care if you used reference or not, because everyone uses references. :)

Keep going

Go learn how to do something else because you've mastered this. Go on now--go learn nuclear physics of something because you're just making the rest of us look bad here.

Incredible, inspiring and intimidating. Only crit would be that I would have loved if you had kept the cool hat she's wearin in the original character concept. I assume you ditched it because it felt too Rocketeerish?

Man I need a tablet. I didn't realize you could do such work in photoshop. :bowdown:

This is one of the best artworks I have ever seen and I agree that there should be sparks and parts flying or something, she should remain quiet and such, while the robot walking into building etc... should be sort of 'attention' eye catcher, while she remains quiet... like stuff flying so that it doesn't look like he's standing.. because the impression I get is that the robot is walking into building... although I could TRY to think it's just standing there, but it's just screaming for "i'm walking and crushing the building inside" sorta deal.

(I also thought the robot's legs were missing...didn't realize he's sitting up. Maybe make him not so vertical, like he's still rising?)

This is probably the most impressive thing I've seen in a while. The attention to detail is beautiful. I'm particularly amazed by the attention you made to the fingertips of her right hand. The gloss and the fall of the light throught he nails is perfect. It's interesting that her arms seem more realistic in tone than her face. The t-shirt itself has an amazing crisp cotton look to it. The muting of the light on it's surface is stunning, even down to the small loose thread on the v-neck join (or is that my imgaination?).

I think the only thing that is missing is the motion. Your concepts have a great feel of the robot waking up, whereas the final picture looks as though he's been sitting there for a while, thinking about it. For the force of the awakening, I would thought there would have been more debris on the ground around him.

The window detail is fantastic. The dirty translunceny works extremely well.

I like it.:D

that's because the robot isn't standing... it's sitting up. not a perspective flaw.

Woooo!!! impressive work! How long did it take to paint this picture?The lightning and texture quality is excellent.

I think the baby fat on the girl is part of what makes it! she's not your regular model material but very beautiful all the same.. You and Anry... are kings of your field! probably a few more but off the top of my head you two are the best of the best.

Your artwork makes me think of the great masters..
gees i do go on..:blush:

A quite impressive piece of digital painting. The amount of detail and the accuracy of the shading are simply amazing, their girl espeically really looks like it could be a photograph. It must have taken you a lot of time to finish this.

The expiression/body language of the girl and composition of the overall piece are very good.

Great work!

02-27-2004, 02:56 PM

i have a question, i didn't bother to read all the other posts so it might have been asked before, is the robot walking thru a boathouse or something , like is the other half of his body submerged or are his legs really short?

nevermind i just read the post where you said he's seated, great work, you should find someone to do it in 3d cuz i would love to see it done up and animated hehe.

Did u really work on that image at 2143 by 1000 pixels? If so then wasn't it really pixelish? Like the background and such? Or did u work on it at a greater size, because the 2143 by 1000 looks as though it's been reduced from a greater scale because of all the small details. Just curious

GASP !
The thing that blows me away about this image is the absolute perfection of the anatomy.
Rather than become suicidal at my lack of skills, I figure I might as well try and learn from you instead.
So....
I can't access your site, so please exuse these questions if they are answered there.
How many layers are in this image ?
What type of Wacom do you use ( Please say a Cintiq, because I totally SUCK with my 4x5 Graphire ! ) :)
I know that you don't paint over a photo, but do you at least scan in a sketch, or do you just ....paint ?

Those of us that cannot access your site are dying to see the reference photos of this girl. Any chance you could post them here ?

Forgive my ignorance, but I noticed that the scarf is blowing in a different direction from robots smoke.
( But I know that sometimes wind swirls near the ground )
I agree about the final image needing sparks and debris ... perhaps even a little motion blur to be fully convincing.

You, Enayla, and Olijosman --- what a massive amount of talent you all have !

MARY MOTHER OF GOD!!! :eek:

okay, are you giving hand-outs on talent because you obviously got your fair share!!

all joking aside you have a REAL gift and I can only hope that I can someday strive to paint as well as you do now. :bowdown:

To be honest, I'd have liked to see more fiery explosion like in the original concept art.. Because I know it would look even more awesome as it would give more action to the whole scene, and let the viewer know that the robot has created some mayhem there. But this is clearly THE 2d picture of the year..

The only thing that bugs me is the remote control.. In any other 2d picture, I'd have loved it. But next to the ultra-realistic girl, it looks a tiny bit cartoonish, it could use a little more texture.

Even I am angry at myself saying these, after all, this is the 2d picture of the year :)

Waaaaaait a minute here..... you are Olijosman (?).... the same guy that did that awesome vampire image ?

DAMN you're good.

I love the display of Sub-Surface-Scattering in your images.

About the angle of the smoke...., it works if you realize that the robot has just risen up, and that the smoke is just now beginning to blow away.
( The fire is blowing in the correct direction )

At my first glance, the smoke trail seemed to lead straight back .....which led me to believe that the robot was moving forward vs. in an arc.

The sketches had the smoke showing more of an arc, and it was more clear to me that the robot was sitting up.

Even your sketches are works of art.

first of all. congratulations on a fabulous artistic rendering!

if i may criticize please from a story point of view, i have to really say i think it's a damn shame that this pic lost the energy of the dynamic!!! destruction of the railroad depot together with the girl's finger on the trigger which is conveyed by the sketches.

No matter how beautiful the rendering is, the story must stay king! and it's exactly because this piece is soooo gorgeous that i truly deep down in my heart mourn the death in the final piece of the idea that was born in the original concept.

please don't hate me.

COMMON QUESTIONS 2

+The wind: The smoke follows the movement arc of of the robot

+robot position :seated seated seateeed....:surprised

+the model:I cannot expose my models photos!!they are anonymous people.This is not professional (and they would kill me) you do not want to see the Nosferatu photo reference?I did it in a Transivania trip !!

+the movement: It is truth, the sketches have more movement.I decided to sacrifice the movement by the characters definition.

+The layers:that changes during the process.
example: Layer1-drawing in line,
multiply Layer - color base
layer3-light effects
and the special layer with my own noise!

well, thank you very much to all, again!

As the 14 pages of people said before, super work! My own little two cents would be to make the remote control thing she is holding more analog looking, like the robot. Like have it made out of a similar color metal with an analog display (needle) rather than the LCD and give it a tube or two. But again fantastic work.

olijosman

02-28-2004, 01:46 PM

The remote control has the logo "wake up baby" ,the organization name of her.

like everyone else ahs mentioned, this is amazing

specs44

02-29-2004, 01:15 AM

this is just absolutely beautiful. if there was one thing i would say thats looks weird. it would be lighting. the character and the background don't seemed to composited together with perfection like all the other great techniques u have used in this peice. the lighting of the women and the background don't seem to match up naturally. other then that i really love it.

nope, this is the kind of controller a radio control airplane would use where both sticks would have 2 axes movement.....the piece with the slot rotates like a cylinder....

+aspiretek- it is truth! :beer:

+specs44 :the lighting of the women and the background don't seem to match up naturally.

thanks for your opinion, but in a drawing, you compose with the light too. The girl is more illuminated because she is the main character .But the light direction is the same in the scenery

Hey my son, It may look nice BUT puting the photo below to trace is unhealthy, your mama means is you should put your feelings and emotions into your work, the creative process is an art not a construction. mama likes my son as an artist not an Bangladash worker.

Mama doesn't understand why this is your last piece of work, oh my son, don't worry, don't be afraid, continue your work and you shall received eternal life, bless you my son.

keep praising me.

I have to disagree. I think it's right in line with the rest of the painting. Notice it's a very different color of black than the glove with which she's holding it... The stark red scarf blasting out from the other colors. The translucency of her fingers over her arm.

The more I examine this pic, the more I love it. REALLY great work!

Don't worry, Mother Mary is most probably just an angry faker who doesn't want to risk his/her own reputation, I guess she / he just registered a fake nick to post these stuff.

I saw her other post in the character: "asian girl, industrial", pretty much the same stuff there also. While I am writing these he/she only had 2 posts.

Mother Mary, do not lose time with stuff like these, you know where you're going if you keep it this way, we don't want to see such a figure in hell :)

Yes it is beautiful as the previous 16 previous pages will attest to.
My only complaint (and it might have been brought up earlier, i just didn't read all the posts) is the pose the robot is in could be a little more dynamic. A slight twist of the upper body would look more dynamic and also clarify that he is walking through the building as the smoke coming out of his head suggests.

Other than that it's excellent rendering and atmosphere.
The volume on the girl's arms feels real.

olijosman...

I am sure you have heard it 100's of times so far, but, very impressive work! You are definitely in the realm of The Masters.

From one CG artist to another, would you mind helping me with a few questions?

1. What resolution do you work at in Photoshop (72, 300, 600)?
2. What size monitor do you have (17, 19, 21, bigger)?
3. Would you be so kind as to "briefly" share some of your methods (brush styles, blending methods, layering, colour palette, etc.)?

-olijosman, don't sweat morons like "Mother Mary"---check out that person's ONLY other post here at the forum...the last one on the third page of THIS thread... http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=116793&perpage=15&pagenumber=1
This person was insulting of the beautiful work displayed there.

This idiot is nothing more than a forum TROLL, probably a self-conscious, talentless jerk who likes to irritate people, GRATEFUL for the anonymity of the internet, where one can hide behind a made-up handle. He/she won't be around long.

Since friday when I saw the picture first I had to com back 12 times only to look again at it. Not only because of the incredible details but also because of the mood - it is so inspiring. THIS is real art!
Thank you olijosman!!!

i wish this never goes off the front page. it might be perverse, but i like seeing her face every time i open up cgtalk. you've managed to make her look gorgeous without resorting to the perfect shape, barbie-doll, stahlberg look, and i bow to you for that.
i'm not even gonna start talking about the robot. . . my brain exploded when i first saw that monster.
a gorgeous piece, through and through.
good job, man.

@nineinchneil
I agree 100% with you.
The girl looks actractive, cheeky and adventurous at the same time (hope I used the right words, if not then sorry, i'm still lerning english *gg*) - in a very realistic way.
Besides the story which is behind this picture is nearly tangible!
